Cleveland Cavaliers: 3 Potential Trades to Explore for the Cavs

Pace Yourself

This is a simple trade. Just a nice swap of C.J. Miles and Channing Frye.

Why the Cavaliers would do it:

There are certain players in this league that are underrated at what they do. I believe CJ Miles is one of them. Miles is three-point threat, averaging 2.1 threes per game. The lefty is shooting 43.5% from the field this season which is higher than average for him. Cleveland would have to play Jefferson more at the power forward position for this to happen, but getting a playmaker to Cleveland could be critical for their play run.

Why the Pacers would do this:

The Pacers are one of the worst three point shooting teams in the NBA. They rank 26th in threes per game. In this day-and-age in the NBA, a team must be able to cash in from deep in almost all positions. Spreading the floor is key in order for a superstar to dominate. With that said, the Pacers have Al Jefferson, Thaddeus Young, and Myles Turner taking the majority of their power forward and center minutes.

Trading a bench player in CJ Miles for a splashing big man might be in their interest since they will definitely be finding themselves in the playoff baring some tragic meltdown.
